¹وأتى بنو اسرائيل الجماعة كلها الى برية صين في الشهر الاول واقام الشعب في قادش وماتت هناك مريم ودفنت هناك.

¹And the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came into the wilderness of Zin in the first month: and the people abode in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there.

²ولم يكن ماء للجماعة فاجتمعوا على موسى وهرون

²And there was no water for the congregation: and they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.

³وخاصم الشعب موسى وكلموه قائلين ليتنا فنينا فناء اخوتنا امام الرب.

³And the people strove with Moses, and spake, saying, Would that we had died when our brethren died before Jehovah!

⁴لماذا أتيتما بجماعة الرب الى هذه البرية لكي نموت فيها نحن ومواشينا.

⁴And why have ye brought the assembly of Jehovah into this wilderness, that we should die there, we and our beasts?

⁵ولماذا اصعدتمانا من مصر لتأتيا بنا الى هذا المكان الرديء. ليس هو مكان زرع وتين وكرم ورمان ولا فيه ماء للشرب

⁵And wherefore have ye made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in unto this evil place? it is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither is there any water to drink.

⁶فأتى موسى وهرون من امام الجماعة الى باب خيمة الاجتماع وسقطا على وجهيهما فتراءى لهما مجد الرب.

⁶And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door of the tent of meeting, and fell upon their faces: and the glory of Jehovah appeared unto them.

⁷وكلم الرب موسى قائلا

⁷And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

⁸خذ العصا واجمع الجماعة انت وهرون اخوك وكلما الصخرة امام اعينهم ان تعطي ماءها. فتخرج لهم ماء من الصخرة وتسقي الجماعة ومواشيهم.

⁸Take the rod, and assemble the congregation, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes, that it give forth its water; and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock; so thou shalt give the congregation and their cattle drink.

⁹فاخذ موسى العصا من امام الرب كما امره.

⁹And Moses took the rod from before Jehovah, as he commanded him.

¹⁰وجمع موسى وهرون الجمهور امام الصخرة فقال لهم اسمعوا ايها المردة. أمن هذه الصخرة نخرج لكم ماء.

¹⁰And Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; shall we bring you forth water out of this rock?

¹¹ورفع موسى يده وضرب الصخرة بعصاه مرتين فخرج ماء غزير فشربت الجماعة ومواشيها.

¹¹And Moses lifted up his hand, and smote the rock with his rod twice: and water came forth abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their cattle.

¹²فقال الرب لموسى وهرون من اجل انكما لم تؤمنا بي حتى تقدساني امام اعين بني اسرائيل لذلك لا تدخلان هذه الجماعة الى الارض التي اعطيتهم اياها.

¹²And Jehovah said unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed not in me, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.

¹³هذا ماء مريبة حيث خاصم بنو اسرائيل الرب فتقدس فيهم.

¹³These are the waters of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with Jehovah, and he was sanctified in them.

¹⁴وارسل موسى رسلا من قادش الى ملك ادوم. هكذا يقول اخوك اسرائيل قد عرفت كل المشقة التي اصابتنا.

¹⁴And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom, Thus saith thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the travail that hath befallen us:

¹⁵ان آبائنا انحدروا الى مصر واقمنا في مصر اياما كثيرة واساء المصريون الينا والى آبائنا

¹⁵how our fathers went down into Egypt, and we dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians dealt ill with us, and our fathers:

¹⁶فصرخنا الى الرب فسمع صوتنا وارسل ملاكا واخرجنا من مصر وها نحن في قادش مدينة في طرف تخومك.

¹⁶and when we cried unto Jehovah, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border.

¹⁷دعنا نمر في ارضك. لا نمر في حقل ولا في كرم ولا نشرب ماء بئر. في طريق الملك نمشي لا نميل يمينا ولا يسارا حتى نتجاوز تخومك.

¹⁷Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy land: we will not pass through field or through vineyard, neither will we drink of the water of the wells: we will go along the king's highway; we will not turn aside to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy border.

¹⁸فقال له ادوم لا تمر بي لئلا اخرج للقائك بالسيف.

¹⁸And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass through me, lest I come out with the sword against thee.

¹⁹فقال له بنو اسرائيل. في السكة نصعد واذا شربنا انا ومواشي من مائك ادفع ثمنه. لا شيء. امرّ برجلي فقط.

¹⁹And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go up by the highway; and if we drink of thy water, I and my cattle, then will I give the price thereof: let me only, without [doing] anything [else], pass through on my feet.

²⁰فقال لا تمرّ وخرج ادوم للقائه بشعب غفير وبيد شديدة.

²⁰And he said, Thou shalt not pass through. And Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand.

²¹وابى ادوم ان يسمح لاسرائيل بالمرور في تخومه فتحول اسرائيل عنه

²¹Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border: wherefore Israel turned away from him.

²²فارتحل بنو اسرائيل الجماعة كلها من قادش وأتوا الى جبل هور.

²²And they journeyed from Kadesh: and the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came unto mount Hor.

²³وكلم الرب موسى وهرون في جبل هور على تخم ارض ادوم قائلا

²³And Jehovah spake unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the border of the land of Edom, saying,

²⁴يضمّ هرون الى قومه لانه لا يدخل الارض التي اعطيت لبني اسرائيل لانكم عصيتم قولي عند ماء مريبة.

²⁴Aaron shall be gathered unto his people; for he shall not enter into the land which I have given unto the children of Israel, because ye rebelled against my word at the waters of Meribah.

²⁵خذ هرون والعازار ابنه واصعد بهما الى جبل هور

²⁵Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto mount Hor;

²⁶واخلع عن هرون ثيابه والبس ألعازار ابنه اياها. فيضمّ هرون ويموت هناك.

²⁶and strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son: and Aaron shall be gathered [unto his people], and shall die there.

²⁷ففعل موسى كما امر الرب وصعدوا الى جبل هور امام اعين كل الجماعة.

²⁷And Moses did as Jehovah commanded: and they went up into mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.

²⁸فخلع موسى عن هرون ثيابه والبس العازار ابنه اياها. فمات هرون هناك على راس الجبل. ثم انحدر موسى والعازار عن الجبل.

²⁸And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there on the top of the mount: and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mount.

²⁹فلما رأى كل الجماعة ان هرون قد مات بكى جميع بيت اسرائيل على هرون ثلاثين يوما

²⁹And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they wept for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.
